    Late episode today huh? Q1: cheese Q2:yes, even the entourage version :/

  • ktw

    Thanks for the extra footage – I am always curious about how your wines drink days later because that is how long wine stays on my counter. QOTD- I like veggie burger with cheese (dont eat meat). 2nd QOTD – aquaman I don’t know too well but since I am an Aquarious I bet we would get along just fine. I went wine tasting in Texas 2 weekends ago with my little brother who I love so much because vayniacs love their sibs – and tasted a “Prarie Rotie” from Becker Vineyards which tastes like pumpkin and I know how much you like the pumpkin. I almost sent it to you for your birthday but now I guess I will just donate to a charity…

    Nice pump-fake at the end of the show. You better hope Clemens has some similar tricks up his sleeves this weekend. But he won’t…you know the Skins D will go to town on the young’n in his second career start. I’m not in position to talk after that Pats game…but you know the real Skins D will show up.

    QOTD: Cheese! To be honest, I just cannot trust anyone who does not get cheese on their burger, unless it’s for health reasons. But if they actually *prefer* it plain…that’s not trustworthy.

    QOTD numero dos: Not particularly, no. He was always the weakest/worst written of all known superheroes.

    Hope you’re right about the J-E-T-S, but fear that no Coles + new Clemens = GV Wear Beard Long Time.

    Ever think of doing a show where you drink wine while cooking? Nothing crazy, maybe some chorizo or something? I’ve had some of my best wine experiences during cooking binges…haven’t burnt down the house yet either.

  • orion

    Cheese is rad.

    What’s your favorite wine pairing with cheeseburgers?

    Swiss when mushrooms are present. Aquaman is one of the ultimate badasses, he had a sick hook for a hand after a shark ate it, but now he is back to normal, taking names way above his weight class

  • Gary – HECK YEAH! AQUAMAN is possibly the greatest character ever! I have no idea if this was a fluke or a refrence to the video I sent in below – But either way – excellent question! You gotta shout out to let me know if it’s all just in my head.

    I’m trying to get a Kansas City group together in the Forum but the response has been weak! Come on KC Vayniacs don’t let the Chicago’s and New Yorks have all the fun!

    Aquaman was a Super Friend! How can you not like a Super Friend!

  • Withnail

    QOTD: Cheese. (And that’s changed from when I was younger.)
    Aquaman? Don’t watch. I thought Aquaman was either:
    a) a DC Comics superhero – the equivalent of Marvel’s Namor, The Sub-Mariner
    b) some show-within-a-show inside joke/plotline from Entourage

  • JamesN.

    GV. entertaining show as always, Thanks for WLTV. QOTD; Cheese & burgers are made for each other, blue, asiago, swiss, jack, cheddar, I love them all.
    Aquaman was cool, but he had to use the sea creatures to do all of his dirty work. The only power I remember was he would throw these concentrated balls of swirling water, and of course telepathically communicating to the sea creatures.

    Cheese. Blue. Roaring Forties would be great, but maybe a bit over the top for the burger. Some port to go along with the R40s might do the trick…

    QOTD: No queso por favor. I’m on a diet,.. I like the cheeses, but I’m not falling for the fat content. Fry it up until all the oil comes out, and eat it like a big cheese chip with all the grease gone (there’s an italian name for that snack).

    Aquaman was cool in his day, but he’s nothing compared to the Avatar. 😉

    Have your Texas friends send in their “best” Texas wines… let’s have a shoot-out of the Wild West on the Thunder Show!!! 😛

    QOTD: cheese! (but only if it’s white – swiss, provolone; NO orange cheddar or *gasp* american cheese). AquaMan? WTHF?

    GV:
    Thanks for tasting a three day old bottle. I’d love for you to try this again but with an everyday 90 point “value” wine. Open two bottles, pour a little out, put the cork back in one, and vacuum pump the other. Then compare the two 3,5, or 7 days later and tell us if the vacuum made a noticeable difference in your opinion.

    Thanks.

    Timely. Just the other night I had a Becker claret I brought back up last year through the ice and snow … nice enough wine if a little light, not fake or overoaked or anything, but the most distinctive thing about it was that it smelled like a plate of nachos. Jalapeno + Velveeta.

    QOD: Blue cheese.
    QOD: are we talking classic SuperFriends Aquaman or neo Justice League one-handed badass Aquaman?

    Cheese. Blue Cheese. Cheddar. Brie. Aquaman? I feel inappropriate asking this. Who’s… Aquaman?

  • QOTD: depends if I need to lose weight or not..but most of the time yes!

    As far as aquaman goes…I find that he should have been developed more to include the power to control water. If he would have been able to do that then he would have had some use on water, as he is he has no use outside of water.

    QOTN: Who is your favorite super hero

  • Cheese. Swiss. A thin layer of mayo with pepper on the bottom bun will create a delicious sauce and seal up your bun so it doesn’t get soggy. Ew.
